Public benefits

The direct benefit which flows from this purpose includes promotion of knowledge, learning and awareness of cross border issues leading to improved relationships between different cultures and communities and leading to greater social, environmental and economic inclusion. Benefits are evidenced through feedback from beneficiaries and evaluation

from stakeholders and funders. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in primarily Northern Ireland and Ireland. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance, finance etc. through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries.
